Hello Suri, Let me begin by talking about "through" and "throughout."

你好苏瑞，让我先谈谈“through”和“throughout”]n!!n^yON8VIY0]PF1zx。

Both can be used as prepositions or adverbs.

两者都可以用作介词或副词!Q4(Ys)he%9CM[Z。

"Through" means moving from one side, or end, to another side, or end of something.

"Through" can also mean within a place or within a piece of land, air, or something else.

An easy way to think of the difference between "through" and "throughout" is this:

一个简单的方法来区分“through”和“throughout”：

"Through" generally suggests motion; "throughout" generally describes a place or location.

“through”通常表示动作； “throughout”一般描述一个地方或位置GvOnJEFJFABL04l_。

Now, let's think about how these words relate to time.

现在，让我们来思考一下这些词是如何与时间联系在一起的a#QlfBaMZ5WP#nc。

"Through" suggests moving toward the completion or end of something.

For example, "We heard birds singing throughout the day" means we heard them all day long.

And finally, we turn to the term "go through."

最后，我们说一下词组“go through”)8481HXi_Kwy%。

"Go through" is a phrasal verb with several meanings.

Yet most are not related to the meanings of "through" and "throughout."

然而，大多数与“through”和“throughout”的含义无关]Rz0J1G,%Fg*iJ@Ec。

But there is one meaning that relates in a small way -- to examine something carefully.

但有一个含义与之有微小的关联——仔细地检查某件事hro@c5G|aa*k^Z]l)。

I can say, "I went through all of the papers and found what I was looking for."

我可以说，“我浏览了所有的文件，找到了我要找的东西lvz7[Q+0fWNst^。”

This meaning of "go through" suggests moving "through" something: in this case, the papers.

“Go through”此处的意思是“浏览”某物：在这里是指文件RN&Va#&kQ77w;rlzM。

For other meanings of "go through," you can use an online dictionary, such as The Merriam Webster Learners' Dictionary.
